The Distribution of Forest Trees.


The controlling conditions in the distribution
of the forest trees first the characteristics
of the species; second, the nature of the SOIL
third the chance of distribution of the seed:
and, lastly, the assaults of the animal enemies
which each kind encounters. Some species-as,
for instance, the black locust-are extensively
subjected to insect enemies. The oaks, the
other hand are, account of their acrid sap,
tolerably well protected from such dangers AS
a whole, ouc deciduous trees have established,
by one device and another. tolerably strong
defense against animal pests. In fact. they owe
their continued existence to their success in pre-
venting this class of dangers. Now and then
some enemy arises. which imperils and may
destroy a species. An instance of this sort has
recently come to the attention of the present
writer from study of the forests of Ken
lucky, which was und ertaken with the co-opera-
ton of his assistants. 1t appears from these OBJ
which, despite the ravages of the AK still
sttute some of its finest forests are in the way
to disappear from their failure to reproduce
their kind. There singularly few young
white oaks in these woods, but abundance of
the less desirable varieties of red and Spanish
oaks. The reason for this to be that the
nuts of the white oak more palatable to the
squirrels than those of the other species;
these creatures industrionsly seek them out, and
only resort to the more bitter and probably less
nutritious nuts of the other species when those
of the white oak fail them In similar ways
other animals act destructively upon other for
est trees The introduction of swine in the
tied portions of the forests brings a greedy and
judcious palate to consume the edible
nuts, and so destroy the progeny of many trees
But what is one kinds loss is another kinds

A Valuable Accession.

MARTINsvILLE, April 30.-Hon. W. Fl. Miller,
who recently resigned as chairman of the Morgan
county Democratic central committee, last night
appeared before the city Republican conven-
ton. He made a speech, in which he stated
that for some years his conscience had been i'll
at ease and he desired to be admitted to the
Republican party. His talk was felicitous and
happy. He was admitted and unanimously
elected president of the convention. This is
serious blow to the Bourbon element of this
county. Mr.. Miller is business of wide
influence, and is held in great respect by the
people. His step will undoubtedly turn the
attention of many Democrats to better political
associations.
